Waveform content aspect

Hi !

I would like to get a line representation instead of the traditional filled waveform , is there a way to do that ? An simple option to allow this directly in The object would be very nice !

Thanks !

the object can´t do it, it only has that one mode and not even a color difference between sample values and plane content (like filtergraph~ has)

but for a simple display of a shorter file or buffer you can use [jit.buffer~] (or if you are more patient, even [lcd].)

Hi Roman !

This is what I thought... It could be a nice thing to implement... (Hi devs ! :))
I took a look at jit.buffer but I can't figure out how to get the waveform displayed differently...

Look at the [groove~] help, complex warping tab. there is a jsui displaying a buffer that can probably be modified to display another style. Just as an example that it's possible to build your own.

in jit buffer helpfile in 8.1 there is an example for "only outlines"

there is also a jitter object which can display audio data in realtime, but i cant remember its name and it is a bit tricky to make it scroll with the right speed and stuff like that...

Sorry for replying so late !

@11OLSEN
Do you think it would possible to make a .jsui acting like a waveform~ object same functions but with better resolution & outlines option ? It would be absolutely awesome !

@ROMAN THILENIUS
It looks like I can't find this helpfile... If you have it, would you mind sharing it here please ? :)
Also did you find the name of the jitter object ?
